Ken,sorry I didn't get back to you sooner,i just saw the post! I like the idea of d-rings,but not in the floor,the original set-up you posted from U.S cargo will also work,but what about the recessed d-rings in the deck/drop? that is where I ran my 2 d-rings in the moving van,the deck provides a natural "stop" against forward motion,and a couple good ratchet straps secure the rear-ward motion. I have loaded something as large as an Oliver Super 88 with this method with no problems whatsoever.....................let me know what else you come up with ok?.................................Mark

That's a very un-usual find Mike! especially with 2-sticks! I have seen 2-3 similar trucks working in the oilfields a few years back,with both flatbeds and other equipment mounted. Looks "Extree" heavy duty to me!.......................Mark

Welcome aboard!........................................Mark

Some nice pics! thanks for sharing,kinda' neat to see the Donald Duck IH with the KW bumper too!.................................Mark

Not a weather station,but a similar odd looking thing! this is some sort of Naval Training center in Moorestown,NJ called the "Cornfield Cruiser" looks just like a ship out in the cornfield! I've passed this thing for years and always wondered what it was for. O.D.s weatherstation finally reminded me to look it up on my interweb machine!.........................Mark

The paintjobs/colors on those trucks looks very familiar to me,just for the life of can't remember the outfit?.................................Mark

I appreacieate all the work and effort that goes into something like this,but I've never seen one of these that looks "right" to me?.................................Mark

"This truck transports milk on weekends"?

I like the fact that the truck number is 2!...................................Mark

Was one of my favorite places to visit when we still lived in Jersey (Aberdeen P.G)......................................Mark

The guy that made it,said he can make most anything like this,as long as the picture/logo is not too complicated................................Mark

I been rackin' my brain (such as it is) about this all day,i put a new mattress in my CX a few years ago and it was a damn nightmare! and that was sitting still on a nice sunny day! I got no effin' idea how this tard managed to get the mattress OUT while driving?........................................Mark

Sorry to learn of this loss,as a fellow New Jersean and BMT member, my condolences to his family.....................................................Mark

That's something Paul! I looked for info on this but couldn't find anything,i never heard of this before............learn something new everyday! thanks for posting this!................................Mark

Looks like not the first time the Truck/Train thing has been tried,i don't know what the hell this thing was supposed be!.............................................Mark

Good old song (sad) its called just "Pinball Machine" recorded by Lonnie Irving in 1962. Flip side of the 45 was "Sleeper Cab Blues" pretty sure the one that mentions Galipolis was "Gooseball Brown" also Lonnie Irving I think?..........................................Mark

Been debating the same thing myself,i'm going to Louisville,KY then Ferdinand,IN,just not as "gung-ho" to run in shit weather as I was when younger!. Cold as a witches tit here today as well!...........................................Mark

I agree on a good idea for a new thread! My M.I.A. truck was a metallic brown B-Model integral sleeper,with a mural of itself painted on the back of the cab. I believe it was from somewhere on Long Island? last seen at the Overdrive Truck show, Englishtown,NJ in the late 70's early 80's. I wish I had gotten a picture of it,but this was in the days before digital cameras and my Kodak 126 was out of film! this was a SHARP truck! done just right,not too much chrome/BS,never saw it again after that show.......................Mark

Looks good! I like that new bumper too! looks like you spend your vacation about like I do,working on truck!...............................Mark

Detroit you say? just ask the man who owns one!

Best wishes for a Happy Birthday!.......................................Mark

Not much hotter than a woman who can drive a stick shift!....................................................Mark
